73 108 & 73 134 head the 14:23 Manchester Picadilly - Portsmouth Harbour through Moreton Cutting east of Didcot on 21/08/82. This was an exceptionally rare working as the 73's had worked all the way from Birmingham having reached there earlier in the day on the previous leg of the diagram. As far as I'm aware 73's on a regular passenger working out of Birmingham has only occurred 4 - 6 times since the class was introduced in the 1960's Photo copyright Stephen Dance (steved@kellock.co.uk)

This very unusual convoy of class 73s was to give the newly returned 73136 a test run. The loco now in an attractive early livery for the class will we believe be used on the VSOE. The place is Mortlake and the date October 26th 2005. Photo from James & Martin's Picture Collection Copyright 'Jampics' m.hawkes7@ntlworld.com British and Foreign Railway Pictures Jampics Fotopic.
